Saarloos wolfdogs

[whitefang]

Hello Christa,

There are more types,some will be blind at 2 years some at 8,but the
type with the smallbrain-degeneration is only be seeying in germany and
not in the Netherlands

These "german" Saarloos Wolfdogs, who showed these signs, were born in the
Netherlands with 2 exceptions, where the parents are from Netherlands!!!
And there is also a bitch in Netherlands, who also has PRA and this
smallbrain-degeneration, as far as I know! Maybe in the Netherlands they
won't be shown, while in Germany we show our dogs.
And all these dogs were almost blind with ca. 3 years!
The others, who were blind at the age of 8 are "normally" in
body-construction.
So it seems to be two different types, that is what the scientist at the Uni
Bochum told me! and there were a lot of more dogs with PRA,maybe it's another sickness,they didn't know.

It's a very small base,but most of the blood comes from outside the
dutch association,

Is there any blood from the dutch association in Bochum? That must be new!

so it's not the total genetic base.And if you take a look 8 generations back in the line of the CSW,it lookes bad too.

That is true! "Rep all over!"

That's why some people don't follow the rules,when you sometimes come to shows,you need the book to see what's the SWH and the CSW.

Oh yes, also true.

I don't mean that it is necessary to cross with another breed.
